Roger has returned to the UK from his home in Kathmandu, Nepal, to take on the Bob Graham Round with an old friend — 40 years after they first completed it together.

What an incredible story, and a brilliant reminder that running, adventure and big goals do not have to stop as we get older.

At Proactive Physical Health, we are delighted to be helping Roger prepare for this ultra challenge with treatment, tailored exercises and practical advice to help him move well, stay strong and manage any aches and pains along the way.

For older and experienced runners, the key is not simply “pushing through” discomfort. It is about understanding what the body needs, building strength in the right areas, improving mobility, refining running mechanics and managing training load properly.

We can help runners with:

🏃‍♂️ Managing aches, pains and recurring niggles
💪 Strengthening work for hips, glutes, calves, feet and core
🧘 Stretching and mobility advice
👟 Running drills to improve movement and efficiency
📈 Training load, recovery and event preparation guidance
🔁 Return-to-running support after injury

Whether you are preparing for an ultra, building back up after time away, or simply wanting to keep running comfortably for years to come, the right support can make a huge difference.

Good luck, Roger — what a fantastic challenge to be taking on again! 👏
